• Receive error message when converting 5.1 VSphere virtual machine using VMWare Converter

  I am moving some Virtual Machines out of my server for VSphere, using VMWare Converter. When I select the source of success and the machine then I get a "failed to get hardware information for the selected computer". I tried two different machines. One is a Windows 7 and the other is a Windows Server 2003. The end of the game is to move them to a server with only VMWare Workstation.

  The research I've seen some users corrected it by changing the OS of the VM, but that did not help me. I have attached the diagnostic logs. Any help is appreciated.

  You must use the latest version of Converter 5.0.1 - 5.0 does not work

• Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

  We have an environment consisting of ESX:

  • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

  • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

  I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

  We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

  1. Is this feasible?

  2. I had user Converter?

  3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

  Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

  I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

  This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

  If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

  Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.

• How to determine the size the virtual machine using the VI SDK files

  VirtualMachineFileLayout a lot of files like snapshots, configuration files, log files. I have not found any object determine the size of them, but the VI Client GUI shows the sizes of them.

  Is there a VI SDK objects that provide the size of every file?

  Thank you

  The virtual machine, you can find warehouses of data associated with (ownership of the data store). Each data store, you can find the HostDatastoreBrowser corresponding (the property browser). HostDatastoreBrowser object, you can call SearchDatastore_Task() or SearchDatastoreSubFolders_Task.

  When you call one of the methods, a task object is returned. To the success of the task, check the property info.result of the task, the object of HostDatastoreBrowserSearchResults actual result is there. Discover the FileInfo objects - they include sizes and lately of the modified files.

  Good luck.

• To remove a CDROM to a virtual machine using vmware-cmd

  Hi all

  I add a CD-ROM to an engine off VM with the following vmware-cmd:

  VMware-cmd & lt; path to the VMX file & gt; lt & setconfig ide0:1.fileName; path to the file ISO & gt;

  How can I remove this CD-ROM, while the virtual machine is turned off? The 'disconnectdevice' command works only for virtual machines under tension.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you are already using java, what might be better to stick to the Toolbox for java.

  However, you can still use vimsh. In ESX 3.0, you can call vimsh - n - e-

• Failed to create virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 11 (test)

  Hello people,

  I installed VMWare Workstation on my machine Windows 10 and trying to create multiple virtual machines to test the object. I have done this before on the Windows 7 computer and did not face any problems, but this time, as soon as I gave the location of the file to deploy an operating system it comes up with some fatal errors as error BLK_CACHE IOERR if I have enough space on the HARD drive and everything is not going further. So, my question is if my computer has compatible with Windows 10 problems or there is something else that would cause this problem. Any help or comments would be appreciated on this topic.

  Thank you!.

  Thanks for your answer, Noel

  I was going through discussions in the community with similar and found subjects that VMWare had released 12 pro workstation that supports Windows 10 entirely. I personally installed it on my physical machine and it works. Here is the link for the release of Workstation 12 notes.

• Error 0x0000007B blue screen VM boot with 32-bit Windows 2003 using VMware Converter 4.0

  Error 0x0000007B blue screen VM boot with 32-bit Windows 2003 using VMware Converter 4.0

  I want to create a virtual machine using VMWare Converter 4.0 from an Acronis True Image to ESXi Server 3i .tib backup file. The conversation seems to be working, but when I try to start the virtual machine, it begins to start, displays the Windows 2003 splash screen briefly and then fails with a blue screen with the following error:

  STOP: 0X0000007B (0XFFFFFADFD520F3C0, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0 X 0000000000000000, 0 X 0000000000000000)

  Looking through the forums I've seen this error mentioned with 64-bit Windows 2003, but no mention of 32-bit?

  Any help much appreciated.

  THX

  > Thanks, unfortunately the .tib Acronis True image files do not work with Converter 3.0.3

  You already have a virtual computer that start - it's just bluescreens - so no need to run the full convert again.

  Juist use Converter 3.0.3 to configure the virtual machine - part seemed to have failed

• Consolidation of DC using VMware Converter

  Hi team,

  I'm working on a project where we datacenter consolidation for the acros the server broadcast a different geographic location.

  We are prapearing a site for hosting VMware datacenter complete which will be a primary site. Still we'll do the brach Central Office DC server migration.

  each branch is connected to the Internet with letancy problems. Offices are part of 50 to 100 miles of new VMware DataCenter location.

  Please let me know if one does this kind of consolidation yet. What is the best way to do DC cosolidtion.

  I don't think that P2V on the WAN will be good idea. We convert physical machine into virtual machine using the converter of VMware Workstation and the ship the Vdisk to central DC, then import in VMware Environemnt.

  Please let me know if someone makes that kind of migration DC earlier.

  Thanks in advance.

  Ravi

  I don't think that P2V on the WAN will be good idea.

  No, it isn't, not to mention that the Converter requires direct connectivity to the physical source of the target ESX box.

  We convert physical machine into virtual machine using the converter of VMware Workstation and the ship the Vdisk to central DC, then import in VMware Environemnt.

  Yes, if your physical source is Windows. For Linux physical sources, you can't create a workstation image, but you need to convert it to an ESX. However after Linux P2V in ESX box, then you can perform a conversion, V2V the result into a workstation image and import it on the target site.

• Use a Parallels virtual machine in VMware Player

  Currently run a Windows XP in Parallels on the Mac. I would like to be able to run this virtual machine in VMware Player in Windows 8.1 65 bit.

  Is it possible, or I have to recreate a new VM XP in VMware Player.

  If it is important it is run on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

  I would like to use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone installed in the virtual machine running under Parallels essentially do a V2V and then run the resulting virtual machine under VMware Player.

• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Using Vmware Converter to increase the size of hard drive

  Hi, I just want to confirm something

  I had a few VM with ESXi 4.  Some are Windows 2003 Server and some Server 2008

  Some of the servers I need to increase hard drive space soon.

  I use Vmware Converter to increase the size of this way, I have my old copy of the VM in case.

  My understanding is that if I use the converter to resize the drive, then Windows will automatically be able to use the space, even the C drive.  So he did not need to use a third part util as Partition magic.

  Is this correct?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Fix.

  But you'll have a new vNIC with a new MAC address.

  So don't forget to set your network configuration after the conversion.

• Can not power on VM after restore acronis backup using VMWare Converter

  I've restored a VM for VSPhere 5.1 using acronis backup VMWare Converter. The conversion completed successfully, but the virtual machine does not start and I get the following error message. Any guidance is appreciated

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM Testdns.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/deb7682b-d932a578/DNS Test/Testdns/Testdns.vmdk'

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  Indeed IT loks like a problem with the used file format (twoGbMaxExtentSparse) hard which is no more supported with ESXi. Your options are either convert virtual disks using the command-line vmkfstools on the ESXi host (in this case, you must load the VMkernel multiextent module) or by downloading the hard files and convert them using vmware-vdiskmanager command-line utility. Another option is to download the virtual machine on a local system, and then use VMware Converter to convert to the ESXi host.

• Virtual MACHINE using GHS restore CD

  I'm new to VMware and I'm trying to implement a virtual machine using XP Home.  I created the virtual machine and I am trying to use the restaurant 3 CD to install the operating system.  The first CD works fine, but the second can not open the file .ghs.  When I try to open the .ghs file it shows same not she, but a .gho file is there, but does not work.

  Any suggestions?   I need to convert a .iso?  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  Theoretically, you can't use restore CD to configure a new virtual machine, because they are technically linked to the computer to which they belong.

  Because the virtual hardware for a virtual machine is completely different with the material belonging to the restore CD, I don't expect that it will work well. For the case, it works well, you could face activation problems, due to the completely different (virtual) hardware.

  You might need a copy of XP retail to do a clean install of XP.

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...
